Chapter 487 Night Raid (V)
“Follow me!”
With a loud shout, Gruul pulled the reins in his hand, and prepared to lead the cavalry troops to charge at the Great Zhou's garrison camp.
Although the barricades deployed by the opposite side on the periphery look very intimidating, given the flexibility and jumping ability of the velociraptor, it is not difficult to break through this level of defense.
Thinking of this, the velociraptors led by Gruul quickly took action.
During this period, Soros had just received the latest intelligence and his face looked grim.
The Ankylosaurus suddenly lost control, attacked its companions, and caused a large number of casualties among the Lizardmen infantry. This was completely beyond Soros's expectations and caught him off guard.
He didn't believe that the loss of control of the Ankylosaurus was an accident. It was most likely that the other party used special means that they didn't know about!
It is not difficult to see from this wave that the other party is probably fully prepared.
With the Ankylosaurs in chaos and the infantry units suffering heavy losses, it would be too risky to continue attacking. It would be wiser to stabilize the situation first and then fight back.
"Quick! Let Gruul cover the infantry's retreat. It's still dark now, so the enemy shouldn't dare to chase us!"
However, the efficiency of information transmission on the battlefields of this era was too low. Once the war broke out, it was very important whether the generals on the front line could have enough tacit understanding with the commanders in the rear and whether they themselves had strong adaptability.
Gruul, who was on the front line, had no time to think and had to make a judgment as quickly as possible.
Basically, at the same time when the latest news from the front was transmitted back, Gruul had already led his swift cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the garrison camp of the Great Zhou! His attempt to force the other party to stop the pursuit as soon as possible could not be said to be wrong, but it could only be said that he did not see the whole situation as clearly as Thoros who was in the rear.
Inside the garrison camp, all the infantrymen of the Great Zhou had already been in place.
Looking at the fast-approaching dragoons, with a cry of "Thrust!", sharp spears suddenly pierced out from behind the barricades!
This was specially prepared long ago when we thought they were going to fight a defensive battle.
Spear, three-bow crossbow and pit trap, this is Zhou Xu's defensive three-piece set.
Later, we turned from defense to offense, and this batch of equipment had been piled up. I didn't expect that it would come in handy at this time.
Each spear was five meters long, which allowed the infantrymen to easily attack the enemy by holding the spear and standing behind the chevaux de frise.
For the lizard people who have lived in the rainforest all year round, weapons of this length are unheard of or seen.
They wanted to dodge, but the dense spears filled the entire space in front of them, leaving them with nowhere to escape!
Several dragoons who led the charge and tried to leap over the chevaux de frise were stabbed into sieves by the stabbing spears.
"Go around!"
Looking at the miserable condition of his subordinates in front of him, Gruul's eye muscles twitched and he immediately adjusted his tactics.
However, at this moment, facing the Zhou infantry who were ready for battle, where could they go?
As the battle unfolded, the area around the garrison camp was already filled with barricades, and behind each barricade there were defensive troops.
No matter how you run around outside, they will be waiting behind the barricades, so it won't take much effort.
As long as the raptors entered their attack range, the stabbing spears would immediately force them forward, causing casualties to the raptors.
An inch longer, an inch stronger!
At this moment, the essence of these six words is clearly revealed.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Gruul's face became increasingly ugly.
This matter was far more complicated than he had expected.
Soros had undoubtedly thought of this step the moment he heard that the Ankylosaurs and infantry troops were being targeted, but unfortunately, Gruul was on the front line, bearing the most direct pressure, so he didn't have much time to think about these things.
At this point, it cannot be said that he has no other options.
The defense line formed by the combination of chevaux de frise and spears is indeed difficult to deal with, but as long as they are ruthless and willing to suffer casualties in a strong charge, this defense line can be completely broken through.
But the problem now is that Gruul, who clearly felt the change in the situation, began to feel a little unsure.
If he fails in this attempt, the blame will fall directly on his head, and he won't be able to get rid of it.
Just as he was struggling with this, a horn sounded from afar, symbolizing "retreat". Upon hearing this sound, Gruul seemed to have found his backbone. His spirits were lifted, and he immediately gave the order to retreat without thinking.
During this process, Zhou Xu, who had already released his control over the Ankylosaurus and shifted his entire attention to the offensive and defensive battle in front of him, naturally heard the horn sound coming from afar, as well as some of the actions of Gruul and the others.
There is no need to think too much. By simply combining the information obtained, you can basically determine what the other party wants to do.
"Come as you please and leave as you please? How can such a good thing happen in this world?"
As Zhou Xu muttered to himself, accompanied by those difficult to understand tones coming out of his mouth, the power of truth spread out again.
[Skeleton soldiers summoned and strengthened! 】
[Skeleton Soldier Summons! ]
Using 'Skeleton Soldier Summons' in combination with the 'Strengthen' mantra to strengthen 'Skeleton Soldier Summons' can further expand the summoning range and increase the efficiency of the Skeleton Soldiers' arrival.
How could there be no skeleton soldiers when Zhou Xu was there? Not only inside the camp, but also a large number of skeleton soldiers had been scattered all over the plains. After the failure of the active attack on the rainforest area, Zhou Xu even ordered people to focus on the deployment around the camp.
Now that the truth has been spoken, a large number of skeletons suddenly broke out of the ground.
During this process, Zhou Xu was not vague at all, and he immediately followed up with the true words!
[Controlled by Skeleton Soldiers! ]
[Skeleton soldier control is enhanced! ]
After quickly gaining control of the skeleton soldiers in the range with another set of combined mantras, Zhou Xu ordered the skeleton soldiers to grab the legs and feet of the nearby velociraptors while breaking out of the ground! This situation frightened the velociraptors led by Gruul.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!!"
Feeling the pressure, Gruul repeatedly urged his soldiers to speed up their retreat.
Thanks to the flexibility of the raptor itself, the raptor cavalry can execute orders with high efficiency when receiving relevant orders.
Basically, you can evacuate quickly by turning around and jumping.
But this time the situation was different. A large number of velociraptors' legs and feet were directly grabbed by the skeleton soldiers who broke out of the ground.
This time, no matter how agile the velociraptor was, with a skeleton hanging on its legs and feet, it was bound to bump into things and even fall to the ground before it could even run a few steps.
Under the cover of night, eerie ghost lights continued to light up from the hollow eye sockets of the skull. In just a short while, Gruul and his men were completely surrounded by densely packed skeleton soldiers! (End of this chapter)
